We tend to think of Yeshua’s suffering and his blood in terms of forgiveness of our sins, because he shed his innocent and holy blood to atone for us. This is absolutely true. But that is just the beginning. We also know that it justified us, sanctified us, cleansed us and so many other things spiritually. Ultimately it puts us in right standing before the Almighty God, so we can be in direct fellowship with him in everlasting life.
That is beyond comprehension, and I am so grateful for that. And… there’s even more – much more.
I would say that most believers — myself included — either underestimate the spiritual authority they have, or they don’t know how to use it. Either one of those is a WIN for the enemy. It doesn’t matter if we have the power and authority to defeat the enemy, if we’re not using it. We are no threat to the enemy if we aren’t using the power and authority that Yeshua has given us.
Today, we’re going to raise the threat level against the enemy, because everyone who reads this will understand the authority we have and how to use it.
One day after I had sold my house, I was cleaning it. I was in the living room and I heard the Lord tell me to hurry. I wondered about that and asked if I should not be doing this right now. He said, “Yes, just hurry.” So I went ahead.
Suddenly a man walked in my front door and started talking to me. I realized I had left the door open.
Obedience in our spiritual life is a form of spiritual warfare, because obedience creates an atmosphere that brings righteousness to dark places.
Intuitively we know this. But I want to break it down into practical actions that will make it a continual reality in our lives. The bottom line is, it’s supernatural, it doesn’t make logical sense here on earth. We have to move beyond the natural to even discuss the topic of spiritual warfare.
